Re: 10 Reasons why PS3 is Superior to Xbox

I find all these system wars posts to be humorous because a year from
now, it will all be forgotten as PS3 dominates the market. Let me lay
out the reasons why people should buy PS3 instead of Xbox:


1. Sony has a history of milking their consoles for years and years.
PS2 is still going strong today. Xbox has a history of dumping their
consoles after just 2 -3 years. PS3 may be more expensive, but you
will definitely get your money's worth in the long run.

Buried as inaccurate. The original XBOX stayed on the market for 4 years and this is common knowledge.

2. Sony has a history of massive game libraries. Stop all the moaning
about the weak library. This is only temporarily. A year from now,
Sony's exclusive library will easily rival or beat Xbox. Look at the
PSP. It is a failed handheld, yet now has a huge library.

According to the future releases for both the PS3 and the 360, it seems as though PS3 will once again share most of its games with the 360.

3. Ring Red of Death, nuff said.

The first valid reason.

4. Sony is about giving options to players. Microsoft is about
nickeling and diming you for everything. Microsoft also offers a lot
of cheap gimmicks to get your money like a Halo themed console.
Oooooh. Big freaking deal. You can load Linux on a PS3 and open up
all kinds of possibilities including surfing the internet. Basically
you can jack into a PS3 that uses USB.

You mean like the way they came up with like a dozen variations to the original PS2 and then came out with a slim one that no longer can have a hard disk installed?

5. Free online play. Xbox'rs will claim that Xbox live is really very
cheap, but when you add in all the extra crap you pay for, it gets
expensive. Charging for a skin or new map? That's sad. With the
freedom of PS3, players will eventually be able to upload mods and new
maps. Plus, let's say Xbox 360 lasts another 3 years. That's $150
bucks adding to your console price. Not cheap.

People have unanimously said that Xbox Live is worth it for the gaming experience that it offers you. Online gaming is seamless and communication is standardized in every possible way. You can talk with people in and out of your game. Not so with PSN.

6. PSN keeps getting better - new demos, games and videos are being
added weekly.

So is Xbox Live, except the content on Live is actually worth grabbing.

7. Xbox sucks at role playing games. Two Worlds is proof of this.
Sony won with PS3 because of the excellent RPG games. They will do
the same with PS3 starting with Folklore.

You DO realize that Two Worlds is on the PS3 too right? It's a timed exclusive. By the way, Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, Mass Effect are excellent RPG games that are exclusive to the PS3. The PS3, so far, has Oblivion and that's on the 360 too. Buried as inaccurate.

8. Blu-ray is going to win. Cmon, everyone knows it will happen.

Yeah, especially now that Paramount and Dreamworks jumped off of the ship.

9. You can only play the Haze and Unreal this year on PS3. The odds
of Haze being a dull FPS is slim. It is developed by Ubisoft who has
a proven track record of excellent titles. Unreal will offer killer

Unreal has never been a decent seller on the console and Haze has yet to show anything that hasn't been done a million times before in other FPS'. Buried as inaccurate.

10. Historically and overall, Final Fantasy is a bigger franchise than
Halo and you can only play it on PS3!

Especially FFX-2.
